Chapter Summaries

Shen Hanyu received fragmented memories from the crystal in his Sea of Consciousness and met the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, who revealed that they had sensed fate within him. The Ice Dragon King shared his doubts about absolute good and evil, leaving Shen Hanyu facing the dragons’ perspective on morality and fate.

The Dragon Kings privately considered his offer while Shen Hanyu examined his Mental Power and the unresponsive Ice God inheritance item.

• The Ice Dragon King revealed that the crystal in Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness was the Ice God’s damaged inheritance vessel and named him a possible joint inheritor.

Shen Hanyu answered the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ questions about his ambitions and willingness to save others, convincing them to entrust him with their God-level Soul Bones.

• Shen Hanyu promised to give the remains to Di Tian, and the Fire Dragon King announced that his time had come.

Shen Hanyu emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a god-level Second Martial Soul formed from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, but he still needed a way to obtain an Extreme Fire Soul Ring. He flew with Dugu Bo to his cave dwelling to discuss what had happened.

• Shen Hanyu thanked Dugu Bo for standing guard, and the two flew toward Dugu Bo's cave dwelling to talk.

Shen Hanyu told Dugu Bo about the God Realm, divine successors, and the two Soul Beast deities beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, explaining that his deal with them and the God-level Soul Bones had caused his severe injuries. Dugu Bo accepted Shen Hanyu’s revelations and asked him to look after Dugu Yan, while Shen Hanyu promised to help Dugu Bo condense his Poison Pill after obtaining his Eighth Soul Ring.

• Dugu Bo accepted Shen Hanyu’s choices and asked him to look after Dugu Yan, and Shen Hanyu promised to help condense Dugu Bo’s Poison Pill after obtaining his Eighth Soul Ring.

Shen Hanyu recovered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then decided how to manage the conflicting energy requirements of his Martial Souls and set off for the Far North. On the way, he considered the people and powers that could threaten or benefit him, including Tang San and the Shrek Seven Monsters.

• Shen Hanyu recovered from his injuries for half a month with Dugu Bo's help, but medicinal herbs had little effect on him.

• The Snow Spirit Deer Soul Sage used a locked-on ice sword attack that wounded the Snow Wolf King, but it continued walking toward her.

Shen Hanyu discovered that the snow wolf pursuing the Skywater Academy women was actually an extinct Frost Moon Sky Wolf and descended to confront it. After trading their first attacks, Shen Hanyu unleashed a Dragon Roar that echoed across the snowfield and roused nearby Soul Beasts.

• The Snow Spirit Deer Soul Sage used her snowstorm skill to flee with her companions, while the Snow Wolf King pursued them and Shen Hanyu followed from above.

• The Frost Moon Sky Wolf dodged Shen Hanyu's claw strike and counterattacked, but Shen Hanyu evaded it and answered with a Dragon Roar that stirred the snow and drew calls from nearby Soul Beasts.

Shen Hanyu used his Extreme Ice Domain to defeat the Frost Moon Sky Wolf King, while Xu Yan and the injured academy students struggled to protect A Shui. The wolf king lay dead, and Shen Hanyu began secretly absorbing its energy.

• Xu Yan introduced herself and the other Skywater Academy teachers, and Shen Hanyu reassured them that he knew the academy's dean and told them to tend to their injuries.

• After examining Xu Shuishui's crystal crown Martial Soul, Shen Hanyu asked about the Star Crown and Star Crown Sect.
• Xu Shuishui denied knowing about the Star Crown Martial Soul or sect, then accidentally contradicted herself while insisting she was not from the Star Luo Empire.

Shen Hanyu discovered that Xu Shuishui was a runaway from the Star Crown Sect rather than a spy, then found an External Soul Bone and continued searching for the Frost Snake Demon.
